Apart from the five Founding Elders of the Sacred Alliance who rarely showed their faces, almost all the important figures of the Sacred Alliance were gathered there.
At that moment, everyone looked up at the disciples and masters of the important figures with reverence, admiration, and fear in the depths of their eyes.
However, there was one exception — Lin Yun.
He had basically met all of them in the battle at the Immortal Spirit Mountain Range.
As the sun rose higher and higher, it was already noon.
The elders of the Lord's Sacred City had also brought four disciples from Excalibur, the Ghost King Sect, the Assassination Association, and the Spirit Beast Sect. They were the four people who had fought their way out of the encirclement.
"It's a pity that Qing Yi was eliminated." Xia Houyang laughed bitterly, but he was neither surprised nor disappointed. After all, he had expected that Qing Yi would not be able to make it through the resurrection round.
After the results of the revival round were announced, the important figures on the high platform confirmed the list of the top 100.
The schedule of the promotion round was still arranged by these important figures.
The Alliance Master, Deputy Sect Master, and the Three Great Sacred Lords of the Sacred Alliance would divide the disciples into groups based on their strength, realm, and performance. This was to ensure that the strength of each group reached an average.
No matter what, the disciples in the same zone would be separated and would not meet again.
As for the 12 personal disciples, they would be separated as well. After all, the Sacred Alliance wanted to keep the 12 most powerful and promising personal disciples until the end.
After a period of discussion, the schedule for the promotion round was finally decided.
The Sacred Lord of the Three Great Sacred Lords received the competition schedule scroll from the Space Lord respectfully. He walked to the edge of the high platform and looked around at everyone.
A moment later, the Sacred Lord of the Flame Sacred Lord said in a deep voice, "Everyone here is the pride of the Sacred Alliance and represents the future of the Sacred Alliance. Let me congratulate all of you!
"Next, I will announce the specific schedule of the promotion round."
Hearing this, everyone immediately quieted down and listened attentively, not daring to be distracted.
"The ranking competition this time is divided into five groups, and each group has a total of twenty participating disciples."
"Among these 20 participating disciples, 10 will advance and 10 will be eliminated. The winner will directly enter the top 50 of this year's General Union Assembly!"
"Next, I will announce the names of each group's participants!"
"The first group …"
After a period of time, Sacred Lord Lieyan also explained the groups of the hundred participating disciples in great detail.
Lin Yun was assigned to the fifth group, while Xiahou Xuan was assigned to the first group.
Before leaving, Xiahou Xuan also came before Lin Yun and said shyly, "Big Brother Jiang Yun, I believe that you will definitely be able to enter the top 50!"
Lin Yun nodded and said, "Pay attention to your safety."
This was the best Lin Yun could say. After all, there were also direct disciples from various sects participating in the ranking competition, as well as a large number of core disciples.
With Xiahou Xuan's strength, this was probably the best she could go.
Xiahou Yang was extremely conflicted because Lin Yun and Xiahou Xuan's groups were not here. However, Xiahou Yang could not split himself and could only follow one person.
"Father, follow big brother Jiang Yun. Xuan 'er can go alone." Xiahou Xuan also saw her father's dilemma.
Xiahou Yang hesitated for a moment before nodding. He rubbed Xiahou Xuan's head and instructed, "Xuan 'er, don't force yourself."
Then, Xiahou Yang caught up to Lin Yun.
After all, Lin Yun's current strength was just too dazzling.
Compared to Xiahou Xuan, Lin Yun definitely had a higher chance of advancing in this ranking competition. Therefore, Xiahou Yang also wanted to see Lin Yun.
"Palace Master, you actually don't have to follow me," Lin Yun said coldly when he saw Xiahou Yang beside him.
Xiahou Yang smiled and said, "It's fine. The chief examiners for this ranking competition are all elders. They won't let anything happen to Xuan 'er."
"Also, because the rank-advancement competition this time is only divided into five groups, there will be twelve direct disciples."
"Therefore, each group has at least two direct disciples. Moreover, there are two groups with three direct disciples. However, you are very lucky that the fifth group you are in only has two direct disciples."
Lin Yun was expressionless. They were only direct disciples. If he met them, he would defeat them. It was a very simple matter.
In his eyes, all the disciples present were the same. There was no difference.
Of course, Xiahou Yang didn't know what Lin Yun was thinking. He continued, "Although the fifth group you are in only has two direct disciples, there is another person whose strength isn't any weaker than a direct disciple. That is Excalibur's chief core disciple!"
When he heard this name, Lin Yun also remembered this person. It was Jian Yan, whom he had met in the restaurant earlier.
"In addition, there is also the Assassin's Sect's direct disciple, Jing Ke, and the Weapon Refining Sect's direct disciple, Zhao Xuefeng!"
"The strength of these three people cannot be underestimated. I can only pray that you don't meet them first."
Although Xiahou Yang was very confident in Lin Yun, he still felt that Lin Yun's hopes of winning the championship were just a daydream. It was simply impossible.
At this moment, Lin Yun had already arrived at the side of the arena. The other participating disciples of the fifth group had also arrived.
As Lin Yun looked around, the arena in front of him was like heaven and earth compared to the arena in the district competition.
The arena for the promotion round was a square arena with a length and width of a thousand meters. In the four corners of the arena, there were four huge golden pillars that were a thousand meters tall.
The four pillars were engraved with the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
These four pillars emitted a thin layer of light. Two of them corresponded to each other, forming a giant boundary that was a thousand meters in length, width, and height.
This boundary was also able to withstand the attacks of people below the half-step Wu Sheng level.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the chief examiner in charge of the fifth group, an elder of the Sacred Alliance, stepped onto the arena.
After confirming that there were no mistakes in the number of participants, he went straight to the point and announced the detailed rules of the promotion round.
"The fifth group of the promotion round has a total of 20 participating disciples."
"This promotion round will be split into three rounds of one-on-one competition."
"The first round will be split into ten matches. There will be ten winners and ten losers."
"The second round will also be split into ten matches. The ten winners will fight one-on-one. Five will advance directly, and the remaining five will be determined. The ten losers will fight one-on-one. Five will be eliminated, and the remaining five will be determined. "
"The third round will be split into five one-on-one matches. The remaining five will advance."
"The fifth group will have a total of ten people advance and ten will be eliminated."
